That presupposes that they will, firstly, comply with the basic requirements of the general and sectoral accounting directives (78/660/EC, 83/349/EC, 86/635/EC and 91/674/EC), and will in particular meet the requirements of providing a reliable and true account of an undertaking's financial position, business performance and changes in financial position.
